Chapter 054: Frightened Bow (Second Watch)
The main courtyard of Songhetang has five upper rooms, all of which are now brightly lit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were four thirteen or fourteen-year-old little maids standing in the pavilion under the eaves, all wearing red waist-pinching jackets, as soon as they saw a large group of girls and women surrounding the Yuan family and others to the Mingtang, they hurriedly saluted, then opened the curtains, and said with a smile: "But the second wife is looking forward to coming, the old lady has been waiting for a long time!"
Yuan Shi saw the reward, and the group entered the Ming Hall without stopping.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a warm breeze mixed with a touch of sandalwood, and the body of the person who bakes is warm.
Lu Shuo shuddered.
Only then did I realize that I had been delayed outside for a long time just now, and my body was cold, and I was smoked by this warm wind, and my cold body gradually warmed up.
"But my grandchildren are back?"
Lu Shuo was about to enter the small flower hall in the room, when he heard an old inquiry inside, slightly hoarse, with some sadness and excitement.
The girls lifted the bead curtain, and Lu Shuo hurriedly followed Yuan's family, stepped through the red lacquered sandalwood moon door, and entered the flower hall.
The girls and the girls all stayed outside.
Lu Shuo glanced up, and saw that the old lady Luo was sitting on the ebony and gold-painted Arhat bed, leaning on a stone blue money python pillow, wearing a long satin jacket with dark lines of ultramarine blue and dark lines, full of gray hair, loosely pulled into a clutch, and holding a bright eight-treasure jade colored flower chrysanthemum hairpin.
Roche's eyes were blazing, there were slight tears, and he still looked very energetic.
It's just that compared to five years ago, it's a little old.
The ground was covered with a jacquard carpet of five blessings and longevity, and a maid had already placed a brocade mattress on the ground, and Lu Shuo knelt on the brocade mattress with Yuan, "dong dong dong" three kowtows.
"Daughter-in-law greets her mother!"
Yuan had already cried a little.
"Grandson greets grandmother!"
Lu Shuo was also a little infected, and when he thought that he had crossed over here, he couldn't help crying for a while.
"Granddaughter greets grandmother!"
The sleeping Shun Ying was held by the nurse and knelt down.
Luo's voice was a little hoarse, and he choked up: "Quick, Cai Wei, Cai Ling, quickly help Brother Shuo and your second wife to get up, the ground is cold, don't freeze your body!"
Lu Shuo and Yuan were helped up by the two big girls.
Lu Shuo was hugged by Luo's arms, and the room was full of crying for a while, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
The brocade mattress was removed, and a clever little maid brought two brocade pestles, Yuan and Bai excused themselves, and sat down on the left side in turn.
Lu Shuo was beckoned by Luo to sit on the Luohan bed, next to her, and Luo instructed Cai Wei to let her serve Lu Shuo's favorite snacks.
Cai Wei is like a shallot, wearing a silver-red short jacket, thin strips, and looks extremely thoughtful.
Roche ordered her twice to have something, and she should be the most favored among the big girls!
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled at Yuan's family: "Second wife, look at it, the old lady really loves her brother! As soon as she heard that her brother was in Beijing today, she made these snacks and ordered them eight hundred times a day, and she was really happy!"
Yuan Shi listened, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, slowly smiled, and glanced at Luo Shi gratefully.
Cai Wei solemnized her face again, and said to Luo's family: "Don't worry, old lady! The slaves and maids have all written it down, even if they go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will also present it to their brother!"
Luo Che eased up, nodded at her, and said with a smile: "You girl, you can play tricks, and now you dare to arrange it on me!"
Bai Shi smiled jokingly: "With such a tricky mouth, don't you want to ask for a reward!"
Yuan deliberately made a straight face and sighed: "The first time I returned to Beijing, I met such a greedy person, just let me be a lady who scatters money today, so as not to listen to the arrangement in the future and say that I am a miser for money." ”
said that, he really let the corals around him enjoy a purse.
Cai Wei took it happily, and said a bunch of auspicious words, making the old, middle-aged and young women laugh from ear to ear.
The atmosphere in Songhetang was lively for a while.
Lu Shuo secretly admired, no wonder this Cai Wei can take a fancy to her, she has both eyes and ability, she speaks just right, and she looks like a good hand!
Cai Wei beckoned a few little girls to go down.
The two mothers-in-law over there came to report that the warm pavilion had been cleaned up.
Luo beckoned the nurse to come over and took a closer look at Lu Shunying's sleeping face.
Seeing that she was born with pink carving, but she was snoring and sleeping like a piglet, Luo couldn't help laughing silently, and told the nurse to let her take Lu Shunying to the warm pavilion to sleep.
After the nurse walked away, Luo turned his head and said to Yuan, who was sitting at the bottom: "It's late today, the Ying girl is sleeping soundly again, let her stay in Songhe Hall for one night first, and then make another plan tomorrow!"
Yuan stood up from the brocade and replied, "But at my mother's command." ”
Lu Shuo looked at Yuan's low-eyed appearance, thinking of Yuan's treatment in front of Luo five years ago, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It's hard to be a daughter-in-law!
Yuan Shi continued: "The daughter-in-law is not filial, she has not been able to serve her mother-in-law in person, and she has been in the foreign office all these years, which causes the mother to worry about her daughter-in-law, which is really undeserved!"
When Luo Shi heard this, he smiled lightly and said to Yuan: "Although you are not waiting by my side, you have raised your two grandchildren very well, which is also a credit, and it can be regarded as filial piety." ”
Except for the moment when he was newly married, Luo never gave himself a smile, just because he couldn't give birth, but he didn't give Lu Yun a concubine, and cut off the incense in the second room.
Bai's eyes flashed.
I haven't moved for three years, but half of what my mother-in-law said was for me.
Just thinking of my own hardships, I can't help but feel a little gloomy.
Luo didn't seem to see Bai's face, turned around, and began to ask about Lu Shuo's daily life and study.
Lu Shuo straightened up and answered carefully.
Luo Shi heard that Lu Shuo had also practiced swords, so he said to Yuan: "I saw that your letter only said that Brother Shuo studied with Confucianism, but I have never heard of such a thing as learning swords.
As he spoke, he hugged Lu Shuo in his arms again.
Lu Shuo is extremely familiar with this embrace.
In the first few days when he first wore it, it was this embrace with a faint sandalwood fragrance that comforted and took care of him, so Lu Shuo did not reject it.
It's just that Lu Shuo is a little embarrassed when he is old.
Yuan hesitated for a moment, and slowly said the illness and the strangeness of that time.
At the beginning, Master Qin was still found through Lu Fang, but Lu Yun and his wife thought that Luo was old and Lu Shuo had only one illness, so they didn't dare to talk to her.
When Lu Shuo saw that Yuan began to talk about his condition, he chuckled in his heart. It's just that in front of so many people, Lu Shuo can't stop it in the end.
Lu Shuo peeked at the Bai clan and saw that she was listening carefully to the Yuan clan's narration, her eyes were clear, and there was no trace of abnormality.
Lu Shuo put his mind at ease, and at the same time felt that he was a little too sensitive after Jiang Yun's incident, and he had become a frightened bird!
